2. String Palindrome
Easy
0/40
Asked in companies
Given a string, determine if it is a palindrome, considering only alphanumeric characters.
Palindrome
A palindrome is a word, number, phrase, or other sequences of characters which read the same backwards and forwards.
Example:
If the input string happens to be, "malayalam" then as we see that this word can be read the same as forward and backwards, it is said to be a valid palindrome.
The expected output for this example will print, 'true'.
From that being said, you are required to return a boolean value from the function that has been asked to implement.
Problem approach
Run a loop from starting to length/2 and check the first character to the last character of the string and second to second last one and so on If any character mismatches, the string wouldn’t be a palindrome.

Coding problem2
Platform used Smart Meet by AMCAT one on one interview was conducted. The interview duration was 30 minutes. Interviewer was very friendly and it was more like a conversation. He wanted me to drive the interview.
Tell me about yourself
Explain your project
Tell me about your achievements I also told him about my area of interest and subjects that interest me, but he did not ask anything about them.
He asked me what subjects you have in your current semester. I was kind of blank for a second because I hardly took any classes during that semester. But I took 2-3 seconds and answered him 5-6 subjects. He asked me about 2 subjects from lot i.e. Information Security and Wireless Communication.
General questions like what you know about these subjects and why are they used. Mention the topics that come under them. I could frame my answer in brief, talked about topics (not in details) with real-life examples and usage.
Then i was asked 1 DSA problem and 1 puzzle.

Asked in companies
You are given an array A of length N, where N is always an odd integer. There are (N-1)/2 elements in the array that occur twice and one element which occurs once.
Your task is to find the only element that occurs once in the array.
Note: There are (N-1)/2+1 elements that are unique in the array.
Example:
Consider the array be 1,6,4,6,2,4,2
The integers 2, 4, 6 occur twice and only the integer 1 occurs once.
Problem approach
i) As we iterate through the nums array we store the elements encountered and check if we find them again while iteration continues. While checking if we find them again, we maintain a single_element object/variable which stores that single element, eventually returning the single_element.
ii) The other way is to maintain a num_frequency hashmap/dictionary and iterate over it to find which has exactly 1 frequency and return that key/num.
Time: O(n) for iterating over the nums array
Space: O(n) for hashing
2. Puzzle Question
An employee works for an employer for 7 days. The employer has a gold rod of 7 units. How does the employer pay to the employee, so that the number of employee’s rod units increases by one at the end of each day? The employer can make at most 2 cuts in the rod.
(Hint- after the end of the day employee’s can’t spend any part of rod)
Problem approach
Tip 1 : Practice previously asked questions.
Tip 2 : Explain your thought process loudly
